The summer solstice may have just passed, but the Atomic City Aquatics Club unleashed a cosmic monsoon at the KCEOC Summer Splash in Barbourville, Ky.

The ACAC swimmers owned the first and second place trophies for highest individual points in most events. In the 8 and under girls, Abigail King took first and Julia Mason second. For the boys, Tanner Alexander took first. In the 9-10 girls, Ainsley Patrick came home with a second for the girls and Jake Mason took first for the boys. At 11-12, Chase Lahr was second for the girls and Vidar Hondorf and Alton Alexander swept the boys. Tiffany Taylor walked away with first place for the 13-14 girls, and Sean O’Connor and Paul Schechter packed a one-two punch for the boys. At 15 and over, Chandler Ott came in first and Margaret Stansberry second for the girls, and Kent Eldreth and Loki Hondorf rounded out this fantastic four with a sweep in their age group.

“We had 158 out of 299 swims that went for best times. There were many high point and high point runner-up swimmers. As we enter the championship season, we are happy to say that the athletes seem to be well on track to a solid long course season finish,” said Coach Mike Bowman.

“When one considers that we are averaging about 38 kids in attendance at each meet, and we have 35 total who have qualified for upper level championship meets, it's clear that our coaching staff is teaching our kids well, and our kids are executing,” stated Coach Bowman. “Here’s to our coaches and our athletes. Congratulations on another great meet.”
